Wish my cat would get along with rats. She's too spoiled though and would eat one in a millisecond because she was jealous.
Hehe.

Wikipedia:
A clique is an inclusive group of people who share interests, views, purposes, patterns of behavior, or ethnicity. A clique as a reference group can be either normative or comparative. Membership in a clique is typically exclusive, and qualifications for membership may be social or essential to the nature of the clique. The term 'clique' may be used pejoratively.A clique can be both positive and negative.
A clique is an inclusive group of people who share interests, views, purposes, patterns of behavior, or ethnicity.
We all share the same interests in crpgs, fantasy and stuff.

A clique as a reference group can be either normative or comparative.
??? … we are the norm and we can compare

Membership in a clique is typically exclusive, and qualifications for membership may be social or essential to the nature of the clique.

Played crpgs > 100
You are an Oblivion fan or ArcaniA fan -> go away

The term 'clique' may be used pejoratively
Then we use the term <RPGWatch-Clan>

A clique can be both positive and negative.
We are both.

I wonder why, and I tell myself it's because there are no "cliques" around here that I can detect. I might be wrong, but it's refreshing - really.

Even the most vile scum (j/k) around here tend to get second chances, because they're looked at by individuals - rather than groups of people sticking together in their dislike.

Not that I would hold any animosity towards me against the carriers - as I don't really have the most amiable posting style

But I would like to commend the members of the Watch for their ability to separate the person from the post (most of the time), and their way of not joining forces at every opportunity!

I guess I don't post often enough to offend as many people as I could (I'm more of a lurker), but I've always thought that you're very level-headed.

Ahhh. Rpgwatch is great. And Dartagnan isn't that despicable.

Now, let's see what JemyM can get out of this!

I fit in the set (group) of people defined by the property of liking Oblivion.

How about the Codex and cliques?

It seems to me the whole idea of standing together is not "Codex enough" - so that's one positive about the site
